SEAL BEACH

Residents interested in filling the City Council seat left vacant by the resignation of Mayor George Brown can send letters of application to City Clerk Joanne Yeo, City Hall, 211 8th St., Seal Beach, CA 90740-6379. To qualify, you must be a registered voter who lives in Seal Beach’s District 2, which includes parts of Leisure World, College Park West and the Montecito condominiums behind the Rossmoor Center. Brown resigned earlier this month because he was elected to the Coast Community College District board and under the city charter cannot hold both positions. The City Council will interview candidates starting Jan. 5 at 5 p.m., and is scheduled to make its decision Jan. 11. The new member assumes office Jan. 25 and will serve the remaining two years of Brown’s term.
